This love story is the sweetest, so sit back and grab some tissues. Em & Mike have been together for 10 years!!! First off, can we just say that we think that is absolutely amazing. After 10 years of celebrating their love together, Mike decided it was time to ask this lovely woman to marry him and here are all the sappy details.

Our lovely bride, Em, get’s to celebrate her birthday is on Christmas day. (Happy early Birthday girl!!) Being the sweet and giving person that she is, she of course LOVES to give to others on her birthday. So, Mike has a special tradition for her; every year on HIS birthday, he always buys Em a gift. How flippin cute is that!!! So this past year, was no different. Em had bought a video recorder to make family movies, so she took it out and started recording as they started opening their gifts. She forgot where she put one of his gifts, so she kept apologizing to him. (Been there, done that girlfriend. Every single year lol.) So they finish up opening their presents and he tells her there is one more gift. He holds out a small jewelry box, and at first she thought it was a necklace or another type of jewelry. She notices that Mike has a nervous grin on his face and she knows that this is it. She thinks to herself, “oh no, it’s happening. I’m not prepared for this!” Mike looks at Em and says, “the best gift I could have would be for you to be my wife.” (and cue all the tears) And he had the whole engagement recorded on the video recorder Em set up earlier, so they can enjoy their moment over and over again.

Fast forward to August 25th 2018 and these two were able to finally tie the knot. The best way I can describe their wedding is a classic, family oriented, Asian wedding. It was absolutely beautiful! They chose the beautiful Robin Hill Park for their venue. With 100 acres of greenary, trails, gardens, and a beautiful Georgian-style home, it was absolutely breath taking. Their ceremony took place in a beautiful white gazebo on the lawn, with white florals wrapped around the entrance. A thick green forest painted a beautiful back drop behind them, as they said I do. We wondered around the facility for their formal photos and enjoyed the gardens, green house, and paths. For the reception they had a big white tent set out in the yard below the house, filled with gorgeous Asian decor, and pink accents. Then they shared their first dance under the awning on the back patio. We ended our evening with a few photos under the setting sun, as rays peaked through the trees, providing the perfect lighting for a few last minute intimate photographs.

It was an absolute honor to capture this beautiful wedding. If I could have Em & Mike as repeat wedding clients, I would hands down volunteer to do their wedding. It was truly the best! Now I will shut up and you can enjoy the heck out of these beautiful memories they made.

Tears fill my eyes every time I watch this sweet video. I am so honored to be able to capture my sweet nephews journey into the world. From being tucked away in his mommy’s belly, to his sweet arrival and first few weeks at home; every moment was so precious and perfect.

When Shayne asked me to photograph John and her for their 1 year anniversary, I was super excited. First, because I love capturing couples that are truly in love and I like getting an occasional break from weddings to relax and explore nature. Second, because Shayne happens to be my niece, which is pretty cool and yes weird since she is a few months older than me, lol. We have a very unique and fun relationship tho and I am so grateful that she trusted me to capture the love between them.

Shayne chose Deep Creek, Maryland for her adventure session and I could have kissed her a thousand times because Deep Creek is one of my absolute favorite places to do sessions. Hint Hint** If you are looking for a little adventure and some beautiful photos, this is your place and for those in the Laurel highlands, Pittsburgh, and Cumberland area it is not too far to travel! But, I digress, back to story telling.

Of course, when we arrived at Swallow Falls the weather was a little less than ideal. It was sprinkling off an on throughout the day and a little chilly. But we traveled about an hour to make magic happen and we weren’t about to give up now. So I sent my husband and the kids to explore the outdoors while, Shayne, John, and I took a path towards some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the area.

We walked paths, climbed rocks, got a little wet, and laughed til’ our hearts were content. Once the session was over, we headed to the Green Turtle to wrap up our evening with a yummy dinner. Side Note* I think all of my sessions should end in dinner with the couple or family. It’s such a great way to bond and make new friends. I don’t just want to be your “photographer”, I love being able to say we are friends. And I am grateful to have more clients that are “friends” for years to come, than those that just walk away after their session and I never hear from them again. So, if ya want some dinner or ice cream after our session, I mean I’m always down!

So, now that I am done talking about how amazing this adventurous love story was, I think you should watch the slideshow below to experience the joy and love this couple shares.

Give Shayne and John some love, by commenting on this post and sharing it with your friends and family. You never know if someone out there is looking for couples photographs just like these. <3

If you like destination weddings at the beach then stay tuned because this beautiful Virginia Beach Wedding is one worth seeing!! This was the first time Josh & I had been to Sandbridge, VA and let me tell you, we were blown away!!! We love the beach, if you follow me, you know that the beach is out thing. Sandbridge is one of the most beautiful beaches we have had the pleasure of enjoying. We are so thankful Marissa and Armando asked us to photograph their special day!

So let me tell you a little about this sweet, intimate, destination wedding. The ceremony took place right outside of the beach house everyone stayed at. So adorable, so easy, so practical! I definitely recommend renting a beach house for your guests to stay at and walking right outside for your ceremony. It is seriously so easy and perfect for a small destination wedding. This wedding took place at the end of April so there weren't too many people on the beach so it seemed even more private and intimate, which we loved!

After Marissa & Armando said their I do's, the guests (their family and closest friends) took their prayer stones down to the ocean, prayed for the couple, and threw them into the ocean. This was such a beautiful moment (which is documented and in our slide show below).

Once all of our fun, intimate, and special pictures were done we went back up to the beach house for a cozy little reception. Olive Garden was on the menu... yummmmy! Marissa's father said a powerful and moving toast and Armando's' brother brought everyone to tears with his sweet words.

At the end of the night, they had the most beautiful first dance in history, under the moon light, and ended their night with a release of paper lanterns over the water. Gosh, cue tears and claps.

Seriously, if you are thinking about eloping or planning an east cost destination wedding, we highly suggest you watch this slide show. We loved every moment of this beautiful wedding day.

Since Mr. Asher is on his way in t minus 1 week, this will be the final photo session these cousins will have together as the 4 amigos. They love each other, fight like brothers and sisters, and learn new tricks from one another (not all good). They are the joy of our hearts and I know my sisters are just as proud of these 4 little babes as I am. These moments are full of laughter, so fighting, so tears, but it wouldn't be our kids without everything you see here. We love them dearly.

Mommy & Me

Maternity

Ok ok, I have to say I think I have the most beautiful sisters in the world. I love them both so much and I am so honored that I own a camera and can document the most special times in their lives. Photography to me is about making moments stand still and that is what motivates me to create beautiful imagery and art.

What makes this maternity session so special is we went to the exact same location that I photographed Morgan when she was pregnant with Harper nearly 5 years earlier!! It's such a beautiful thing to watch a mother grow, especially when you get to call that mother your sister.

So since Ashy is on his way very soon, I wanted to post these beautiful photographs of Morgan before she is a mother of two. This was seriously one of my favorite maternity sessions to date. Who doesnt like a maternity session in the lake at sunset? I sure do!!! Oh and the golden hour lightly was on point!!!

Morgan, I hope you enjoy these photos of you and your babes. I love you!

Hot summer days bring beautiful golden sunsets. If you are a photographer, you know how much we seek after the perfect lighting scenario. Every day - during the last hour before sunset, magic happens in our universe. We have chosen a handful of beautiful images to share with you; from sun kissed babies, couples drenched in golden light, & children dancing through rays of golden dust. Check out these amazing images and don't forget to follow the photographers work by clicking their image!!

WHY WE LOVE TO HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT WARDROBE

If you have worked with me in the past or if you know me personally, you know that one of my favorite things in the world is clothing. My family raids my closet every time they are at my house and we joke that it's like a shopping experience when they come over. My clients get to share in this same luxury my sisters and mom have because they too get to pick outfits out of my closet and wear them for their sessions.

Styling sessions has become one of the most beloved parts of the experience I provide my clients. We will sometimes spend days and stay up until the wee hours of the night picking out what everyone is going to wear. I do this not because I want to control every session but I want every session to be the very best for YOU. I want you to have clothes that are comfortable, fit your body type, and also clothing that flows together and will photograph well. If clients choose me to be their photographer, it's because they like my style and part of my style and brand includes your wardrobe.

Your wardrobe is a key part to your photography experience, no matter who you choose as your photographer! You should choose outfits that coordinate, go with your location, are comfortable, and go with your photographers style. Which is why we dedicate time to this part of our process. We will create style boards for you, send you links to outfits you can buy, or you can choose an outfit straight from our "Bella Wardrobe." We have pre-selected clothing for women and children and men of all ages to use for their sessions. (Don't worry, each item is washed thoroughly before and after it is used at a session). We also encourage you to wear what you already have! Sometimes this is more sentimental and can produce an emotional impact. For example, one of my moms is wearing the same beautiful dress she wore to her bridal shower at her family session. She had it taken in so it would fit her again but it is so meaningful to her. If that is the centerpiece, then we work the rest of the outfits around that one special piece of clothing. Don't worry, we have plenty of options for you to have the perfect wardrobe for your photography session!

We have recently added a new tool to our arsenal of wardrobe styling tricks and tips. We absolutely love Style & Select and highly recommend it to our fellow photographers. (Thank you Amandamarie Gillen Photography for recommending this to us!) This has made it easier for our clients to tell us the colors they prefer, the style they prefer, and to create the perfect wardrobe. They can even give us a budget for their family wardrobe and we can pick items based on the total cost. I have already used this tool to start planning my own outfits for our family sessions.

All of our clients will be sent an email with our style guides for their family session. Matching pants and shirts are out, khakis and white tops are out, everyone wearing plaid is out. We want to help you find current styles that will fit your family's personality and help relieve some stress. You still get to choose your wardrobe and have fun shopping but now you have a little help in the process.

This Pittsburgh, PA engagement is sure to give you all the feels. When Em told me she wanted to have her engagement photos at Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens I was thrilled. None of us had been the garden before our session and we were blown away by the dynamic beauty that this venue has created. There are rooms that will take you on an adventure in Cuba, the desert with cacti, and through a Japanese Garden. It was extraordinary!

However, the most amazing part of our experience was the pure love and joy that this couple shared together. I am honored to be able to photograph them on their wedding day! There love is admirable and strong and it is evident in these photographs.

Take a moment to experience the love of this couple and the beauty of this location by clicking on the video below!

Google search: Local Wedding Photographer and you are going to be overloaded with hundreds of local photographers. Ask on your local Facebook group for recommendations for a photographer and you are going to be overwhelmed with the never ending comments and private messages you will receive. Everyone with a camera is calling themselves a photographer but do they really have what it takes to capture the important moments of your wedding day and know how to juggle all the many things that come up on a wedding day? Are you comfortable trusting just any average Joe to capture one of the most important moments of your life? If you want to have amazing wedding portraits and you want to be confident in the photographer, here are 5 tips that will help you find the right fit.

Meet with your Photographer

Meeting with your photographer is just a genuinely good practice. You want to know if you can even get a long with this person in the first place. Some people like myself are sensitive and kind, if I were to have a sarcastic and straight forward wedding photographer I would have been miserable and probably cried. I really didn't want to be crying during my wedding pictures so I knew I had to find a photographer that was kind and gentle. Make sure you request a meeting with your photographer before you book your session or at the very least a phone call or Skype meeting. This will remove all the pre-wedding anxiety and give you one less thing to stress over.

First of all, meeting with your photographer is just a genuinely good practice. You want to know if you can even get a long with this person in the first place.

Make sure you request a meeting with your photographer before you book your session or at the very least a phone call or Skype meeting. This will remove all the pre-wedding anxiety and give you one less thing to stress over.

Have your engagement session with your photographer

Similar to the reasons above, you should always try to have your engagement session done with the wedding photographer you have chosen. This allows your photographer to get to understand you and your fiance and how you flow together during your photo experience. A lot of times the men are reluctant to have their pictures taken but if you get them use to the person behind the camera, they are a little less camera shy. Also your photographer will be able to learn what helps make you and your fiance open up and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Most photographers offer engagement sessions with their wedding packages.

Sign a Contract

Please please please sign a contract. Chances are if your photographer doesn't have a contract they are not a professional photographer. You want to steer clear of someone who just walks around with a camera taking pictures and calling themselves a professional. First I want to say that I am not in any way bashing amateur photographers who are just starting out. We all start somewhere and there is a place for us to start, experimenting with a wedding isn't one of them. Your wedding day is so incredibly special. This is the one day you will never get to have a redo of so please please please make sure the photographer you hire has a contract to protect both the company and you!

Ask to see samples of their work

Every professional wedding photographer should have a website where you can view their work. You should never hire a photographer without knowing if you like their style. Every photographer has their own signature style that they have worked hard to perfect. We are not offended if you don't enjoy our art work as much as the next person but please make sure when you hire your photographer that the work they are putting out is the work you are wanting to receive. If you are looking for Light & Airy images don't hire a moody photographer just because they are $500 cheaper! Make sure you are in love with the images you see from your photographer and don't be afraid to ask for a recent wedding gallery to ensure that they samples they have on their website is up to date.

Don't Settle

One of the biggest disappointments I see from other women is they are not satisfied with their wedding images. They were on a tight budget and decided to cut costs and settle on a photographer. I'm just going to say it, your photographers & videographers are the most important vendor you will work with throughout your wedding experience. This is the only thing you get to take home from your wedding (besides your husband and wedding bands) and cherish for the rest of your lives. But even greater than that, your children and grandchildren and great children will be enjoying these images as well so really they will outlive you and your husband! Everything else is a one time deal. If you are on a budget and you must cut costs, find others ways to do so but for the love of Pete don't skimp on your photographer. When Josh and I got married the most important part of our wedding (other than eachother) was our photographers and videographer. We found the photographers we loved, planned our entire day (our date, times, location, etc.) around them and fit the rest of the wedding into what was left in our budget. This was by far the best decision I made for our wedding day and I don't regret it at all. I promise, if you pick the right photographer, the one that makes you cry every time you see her pictures, the one that makes you squeal inside like a little girl at a Beiber concert, you will not regret spending the extra money on her (or him)!

Hello beautiful. We know that weddings can start to burn a hole in your wallet. Even after you nail down the big vendors (photographer, videographer, venues, catering, dress, florists, cake), the little details can start to become daunting and expensive. We are here to help! Here are 3 tips to keep your wedding details within your budget.

Get creative with your cake.

Skip out on the traditional cake and go with a stack of donuts or home made pies instead. You can really spice up the look of your "wedding cake" by adding florals and greenary. Our favorite alternative was a large stack of pancakes with berries on each tier. You and your hubby can pour syrup over the pancakes before your cut them. This will save you hundreds of dollars and keep your wedding fun, stylish, and unique. You can find some more adorable cake alternatives on our Cake Alternative Board.

Make your own signs or hire a local sign maker.

One of the ways we saved on our wedding decor was by hiring a local sign maker to creative beautiful and unique signs for our wedding. This not only allowed us save on the decorations but we also now have beautiful signs hanging in our home that remind us of our wedding day. Our favorite place to order our wedding (and home) sings is Renee's Craft Room. She is amazing! You can use signs for just about everything. Guest books, flower girl signs, reserved signs, and welcome signs are just a few of the ways to save! If you are crafty and can find time to make these things yourself, you can find some rad sign ideas on our Wedding Sign Board.

Make your own jewelry.

Making your own jewelry for your wedding will take time but it most definitely will save you some money! For my wedding I decided that buying all the jewelry was a waste of money. Why would I spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on jewelry I might only wear one time. You can go to your local Michael's store and find everything you need to make beautiful earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. I also made my mother, mother in law, and bridesmaids gifts as well! It was something that they really can appreciate and cherish since they were made with love. Another fun thing to do is have your bridal party get together one evening and make your jewelry together. This gives you time to bond and enjoy time with one another. You can find some awesome jewelry ideas on our DIY Wedding Jewelry Board or just go to a local craft store and look at all the beautiful pieces they have to get your started. Let your creativity flow!

Maternity Session

I am so excited to share this beautiful maternity session with you. Addie & Shane are so special to us and being able to capture their maternity session was such an honor. Their sweet girl was welcomed into the world a few weeks ago!

3 Pittsburgh Wedding Transportation Tips

Wedding transportation is a detail of your planning that shouldn't be overlooked! It might seem like a small part of the puzzle, but it's vital to ensuring everything runs smoothly and on time. If you've started looking already, you know that there are hundreds of Pittsburgh transportation providers to sift through. Which PA Limo Company do you choose? We'll make it easier with a few tips on how to separate the good from the bad! Remembering these pointers will lead you to the best choice for your specific Pittsburgh wedding needs.

Always ask to view the vehicle before placing a deposit

Have you ever seen a transportation website that looked too good to be true? It's common for providers to put stock photos of vehicles on their websites. It doesn't mean they actually own them! There are a lot of middle man services who simply book other peoples vehicles for a fee. This means the vehicle you book can be a different vehicle than what actually shows up on your wedding day. Who wants a surprise like that? View the vehicle beforehand so there aren't any surprises.

When you're checking out the vehicle, ask for a sample contract

Meeting with potential transportation companies allows you to get a feel for what kind of customer service they provide. A transparent company will be happy to let you view their contract before putting down a deposit or signing to complete the reservation. You should be aware of all of the smaller details and fine print so you don't end up with extra charges or lackluster service.

Make sure they've been to your wedding venue before

Make it a point to ask if they're familiar with your Pittsburgh wedding venue. If they aren't, this could cause trouble. An inexperienced chauffeur is likely to add time on top of your wedding itinerary if they're unsure where to park or drop you off. If they've already been there before, it becomes a lot easier for everybody!

Intimate Backwoods Wedding

I was honored when Heather asked me to photograph her "Intimate Backwoods Wedding." Heather & Jordan are such a fun couple. You could just feel the love they have for each other the entire wedding. To be able to photograph a love so true and deep is one of my favorite parts of my job.

This beautiful ceremony was held at Ridgeview Park in Derry, Pennsylvania. The couple and their bridal party all grew up coming to this camp ground year after year. The bride used one of the family cabins to get ready in. It was such an intimate location. Getting married at a location that has special meaning to you and your fiance add a magical element to your wedding day.

As soon as Heather told me her horse was going to be included in the wedding, I melted. Being an equestrian myself, nothing makes me more excited than being around horses! Not to mention being able to photograph horses in a wedding. Beena (Heather's horse) was dressed for the part and looked absolutely stunning!

Heather & Jordan celebrated their marriage with family and friends at Clems Pavillion in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. They danced their night away with each other and their handsome son. I hope you enjoy this gorgeous wedding.

Bridal Tips:

Heather grew her own sunflowers for the wedding.To add a person touch to your wedding decor and keep costs down, try growing your own greens and florals for your decorations. Real flowers really make your wedding so beautiful. How much more when they are grown with love in your own home.

Heather & Jordan chose a delicious BBQ for their reception. BBQ buffets are a tasty and budget friendly way to feed a hungry crowd and keep your reception very relaxed and comfortable. WE LOVE BBQ's!

Heather & Jordan's wedding showed who they are as individuals and as a couple. Be sure to add elements that show your personality. The Hope's chose a camp where they both grew up for their ceremony. Heather brought along her horse. Jordan changed into jeans for the reception to be relaxed and comfortable. JUST BE YOU! That will make your day so much more special.

Silhouettes

To photograph a beautiful silhouette requires the right lighting, location, and camera settings. Oh and a skilled photographer. I believe these awesome photographers have captured silhouettes quite beautifully and would love to share their amazing talents with you! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I cannot believe how fast time flies. 10 years ago today, you came into this world and stole my heart. Watching you grow has been so incredible and I am so blessed to be your mommy. Here are 10 things I love about my handsome, brave, sweet 10 year old!

1. His love for cooking.... Every morning he wants to make us breakfast. He loves making eggs and bacon and pancakes. I have always made him Mickey Mouse pancakes, so now he makes us different shapes and animals.

2. His creativity.... Kaiden has a creative side just like his momma. He loves to create new recipes in the kitchen, he always has new ideas for new ways to cook our food. He also loves to color and make things for people. I have a ton of crafts and coloring pages hanging all through my house and in storage boxes. I love every single thing he makes me.

3. He is a giver... When we are at the store, Kaiden is always thinking about others. He loves to look for things to buy his cousins or family members. He loves to make things for us and surprise us with gifts. We teach Kaiden to tithe and every time he gives his tithe he always gives God way more than 10%! It warms my heart to see his love for giving to others.

4. He loves to sing... One of Kaidens favorite things to do for us is to put on concerts. He picks his favorite country songs and puts his headphones on and sings his little heart out. He also loves to write his own songs and sing them for us!!! My family will tell you that I use to do the exact same things growing up! Like mother, like son. :)

5. He is compassionate and kind... Kaiden has always had a big heart. He is the first one to comfort someone if they are down. He loves to make sure everyone is happy and feels loved. IF you are crying or hurt, he is right there your side! One of my favorite acts of love Kaiden has showed others it buying bibles for the elderly to spread the love of Christ. This was all Kaidens idea and he continued to remind me about it until I purchased the bibles. He has such a big heart!!

6. He is helpful... Kaiden loves to help others. I have had many surgeries the past few years and Kaiden is always right there to make sure I have everything I need. He loves to make me coffee in the mornings and get everyone snacks. He will randomly clean the house and help make meals. He holds doors for everyone when we go out and he is always trying to help the elderly. He also loves to help his dad build things and take care of yard work when they are together.

7. His dreams and ambitions.. Kaiden has the most awesome goals for a 10 year old. He wants to be a famous youtuber but he isn't going to wait until he grows up, he wants to start now! He also wants to be a country singer and he wants to build things like a construction worker. I love hearing him talk about his dreams!

8. He loves to cuddle... Short are the days where our little ones want to cuddle with their mommas. I know that these days will soon end as he sprouts into a teenager but I am taking advantage of our sweet snuggles while I can. He loves to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie, or cuddle next to me while I am working. I sure will miss these cuddles some day but for now I am taking them in and enjoying every second!

9. He is smart... Kaiden is one of the smartest kids I know. Every since he was little he has learned so quickly. Potty training was a breeze, I feel like I didn't even get to teach him because he just did it himself. He learned to read and spell at an early age and he hasn't slowed down since. He is one of the fastest readers in his class, he is sooo good at math, and he loves learning about science. He has straight A's and I am super proud of him for that!

10. His jokes... Kaiden absolutely loves to tell jokes. April fools day is his favorite Holiday. In fact, he thinks its once a month because all through the year he will prank us and tell say "April Fools!" with a big smile on his face. His dogs birthday is April Fools day! He is so playful and silly. He loves to make up his own jokes and tell them to us. He is always making me laugh. :)

Kaiden is the most amazing little boy I know. He is handsome, silly, smart, strong, brave, and thoughtful. He loves attention, he loves to help others, and he loves to encourage others. I love his smile and his laughter, and I love how big his heart it. I am so proud of my little boy. I am so blessed that he calls me mom.
